Now you're getting it. It's not about firearms it's a cultural war. They don't want kids learning to shoot. Rather they want them to hate and fear guns. And love the government.

Theyre fascists. They're evil tyrants. And yes they're treasonous. They deserve to be arrested and hung. But instead, they get accolades as we don't live in a society based on liberty. We live in a totalitarian state.

The constitution is dead and gone. Face it. Ramble all you want about the second amendment but it is part of an obsolete and invalid document belonging to a prior era and based on archaic ideas. We are curios and relics.

They're not liberals, they're leftists. Please don't use the former for the latter. Liberals are Locke, Jefferson, Burke, Hayek. Leftists are progressives, Prussian state-socialists, fascists. Liberals stand against the state and unequivocally support liberty. Leftists support state tyranny.

True, if you are talking about the 4473 that FFLs must keep under federal law

Until 2014, longguns are not registered. What this means is, even if they do not destroy the DROS paperwork as they are supposed to, there is no serial number on it, for instance. Identifying information only needs to be put on DROSes for handguns...until 2014

Why do you say it will pass? Is there anything recently to lead you to say this? I m just curious because that would obviously be horrible... and sadly I havent really been following the news regarding it.

Do you mean to say that when you log in to Calguns you don't see all the bright yellow alerts asking members to take action? Really?

Hrm. That's true. Looking over DROS copies. Absolutely no info about the firearms in question, only that it's a "Long Gun". That's it.

Wow, I think you might be over-reacting just a tad. The 2nd amendment is NOT dead it is crippled in CA, but much of the rest of the Country is still free.

some of you sound as if you have never heard anything about this before. I'd encourage you to visit the 2A forum a lot more.

The NRA and California 2A groups are doing good right now but I think after the federal law going down yesterday it might be best to send your money to the California groups. Again go read up in the 2A forum and pick your group wisely to send your lunch money to.

The biggest thing for me about all this is not being able to pass down/ transfer the gun to another family member or my kids.

rm1911--"Liberals stand against the state and unequivocally support liberty. Leftists support state tyranny."
Here is what I believe: liberal,progressive,socialist,nazi,marxist, communist- are all on the same path. Just different or wrongly defined.
They want total control of everyone.
They are All against Liberty- Freedom. They do not believe we "are endowed by our Creator,with certain unalienable rights, LIfe Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
They generally deny God exists, they serve the other entity,whether they know it or not and whether they understand it or not.
We have hundreds of years of this ignorance. Look at Russia,China, Hitler, and all the rest of the tyrants who controlled people and when they got enough power, killed their own people by the thousands and millions.
This is the path feinstein,pelosi,reid,bloomberg,nobama and many others are on. Take over the country through putting us in debt, making us dependent on the Government. Also confiscating arms so we are defenseless.

DROS hardcopies (not NICS) are kept at the local level forever. When the firm folds the paperwork is sent to the BATFE.

You are mixing things up.

DROS is a state form. It was invented as a handgun registry. The dealer keeps it. If he goes under, it gets sent to the CA-DOJ

When DROS started to be used for longguns, it was used differently. All a DROS should say is that it was a long gun. No identifying marks. And they are supposed to be destroyed after a certain time. This is different than for handguns.

The 4473 is kept for 20 years. If the company folds before than it is sent to the ATF. Not the DROS, the 4473. That does have identifying information on it.

No kidding! Good old mom or dad digs out their 10/22 from deep in the closet to take their kids shooting. They go buy some ammo, take their kids to some BLM land to shoot and they get arrested for the "assault weapon" they were supposed to register 3 years previously?

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!!

And that is likely exactly the intended outcome. It allows the politicians to identify those who support 2a and criminalize their responsible activity. Of course if it is someone in political favor the gun will probably just get taken away. If not, all heck could be the price!

You go to refinance your house or to get a loan...
Sorry we can't process your documents until you have filed your Asault weapons compusory compliance forms...You do have proof your weapons were turned in and destroyed...
Don't you sir?

Etc, etc, etc

They escalate we escalate, they attack, we adapt.
Plenty of ways will evolve to subvert and resist that kind of BS.
It's their choice if they want this to get messy.

It's not gone ...it's the simple shallow enders that think their temporary majority trumps the Constitution. How'd the shallow enders treat mixed marraige, gay rights, including gay marriage, civil rights, separation of church and state. I believe it was as recent as 1996 I witnessed a black man being barred from one of the courses of the Pebble Beach Pro Am. The Constitution works but the sheep are defecating on it as they always have. It's just our turn in the box.
The Constitution will prevail provided those who try to subvert it are exposed and defeated. ....and THEY know it!

If not then the bill(s) have to pass the Senate and Assembly and then be signed by the Governor, then it becomes law. If the Governor refuses to sign (its called a VETO) then the Senate and Assembly can override his VETO by a 2/3s majority and then it becomes law.

When did the school system stop teaching Civics classes? I don't mean to be sarcastic but this is how our State and Federal laws have been passed for a few hundred years. I am beginning to see why our state and country are in trouble, some of our citizens appear not to know how they are governed.

Don't you think you dropped the hammer a little hard on that one? The poster asked a question. You did answer it but I don't see what was said that deserved the personal attack. The poster is trying to learn but if they get attacked every time they ask a question they'll stop trying.

I thought that by him not signing it, it automatically passes???

Perhaps I did. I apologize to the poster (md2bpo) for being somewhat over the top on my post. I did not intend a personal attack but I can see where it could be taken that way.

Where in the description of that process does it talk about what is going on right now, hence "the bills passed in their respective committees and will be next referred to their respective Committee on Appropriations".

I know the basics you described but I have no idea what this means, except if it's an indication of how thing will be voted on down the line then it's kinda scary.

If the Dems vote for it, they'll be voted out. Then the bill will get repealed.

Organize candidates now.

Unfortunately, once a law is on the books, it is unlikely to be repealed, no matter what the subject. Most politicians of any stripe don't want to worry about past legislation unless it benefits them somehow. It would have to be clearly understood that the reason the new politico is in position is by the graces of fed-up gun owners, and others who are sick of the status quo. Public service is no longer that anymore. Its become a feeding trough for the wealthy and well-connected.

I actually was being a little sarcastic - only to realize I didn't know as much as I thought after the hammer drop. So ill chaulk it up to tough love. I do feel good in that there are concerned cal gunners out there that are wondering the same thing though. If we're unclear or unsure - Someone's gotta ask - most of use lost our hs text books and don't navigate google too well at times

That is right, in California there is no "pocket veto" He must veto it to stop it. Ignoring it means it becomes law.

Brown may well veto this particular bill. If it passes it will cause costly lawsuits, and as it amends, and does not merely add to, the AWB here, if overturned in the courts, the AWB itself is dead, at least the "feature base" ban.

One thing to consider the possibility of if there were to be an all out attempt at registration, and then confiscation, of firearms - There are about 8 million gun owners in CA. Probably 25 % would not comply and also would not hesitate going down fighting and taking a few of the "authorities" with them. Let's be conservative and say the number is more like 10% - That's 800K people shooting rather than complying. That would be a terrible scenario and I wonder if the law enforcement community has given it much thought? Can you imagine what it would be like if every day in this state there were hundreds of incidents like that?

Move Where? This "I will leave California" mentality is only going to buy you a short amount of time. The gun control noose has been tightened around all of our necks. Its only a matter of time until the rest of the country is going thru what we are in California. It almost happened yesterday but was narrowly shot down in Congress.........this time.

People need to get abd stay actively involved and if not just go buy your self and family a nice fishing pole !

I heard that Nancy Pelosi would like to see Stripped Bass removed from California waters claiming that they are a predatory fish not native here? You may want to hold off on that fishing pole purchase.

Yes! .22s! And all because they made .22 copies of the SCAR and the AR-15 and these idiots in Sacramento are banning guns because of how they LOOK, not their power or use in crimes. This is the Dem's wish list: NOT SEMIAUTO RIFLES or ANY type. Do any of your fools doubt it now?

It's NOT about California's gun laws -- it's about the political leaders here having complete contempt for one political class:

Tax paying, law abiding, industrious, self sufficient citizens.

Everything they do (gun laws included( is to shove it up our *** for not being a welfare sucking leech that they know will vote for them automatically. They tax things we buy online from other states? Because we "use" them here?

The state is dead to hard working people and it AIN'T coming back. I don't care if the gun laws end up worse where I go -- i will not enrich California any longer

I agree this "I will move" mentality basically means you ve given up.. I really doubt anyone will actually go as far as uprooting their family and leaving their jobs bc they can't have their AR.. Would suck a ton of course!!
